Allen:
This sounds like a W-10 update issue. Have you updated W-10
on that old computer lately?? I so maybe that' s problem, i.e.
some incompatibility with the WSJT-X software? BTW, there
are some simple Register hacks to make that old computer W-11
compatible as is. So maybe changing to W-11 might help or just
rolling back the W-10 release your using now.

All you WSJT-X gurus out there, I have a problem: Been using WSJT-X
for years with minimal issues. Yesterday something new started happening:
Running WSJT-X v2.6.1 and a K4D. Win 10 on an old computer.
Yesterday I started getting 'delays' or ‘hangs’ in the movement of
the timing bar which also extends to transmit timing. During the hang,
WSJT is also non-responsive to clicking the mouse on any function, tab
or command. Here is the timing scenario:
RCV: Always hangs at 12 sec. After several seconds the progress bar
jumps to usually 1 or 2 in the XMIT mode where it keys the radio but
then hangs again. Even though the radio is keyed is does not transmit.
It will then jump to somewhere between 5 and 8 and start transmitting.
The progress bar then goes all the way to 14 or so and exits transmit
mode. That starts the cycle over again. It is fairly consistent in
timing. Very hard to make QSOs this way!
I tried:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the program
- Turning off all other non-essential programs
- Rebooting the computer
- Upgraded to v2.7.1: same thing. Then uninstall and back
to v2.6.1
- As mentioned before, using the mouse also does not work
when the program hangs.
Other programs are unaffected, i.e. the mouse works just fine, no
hesitation. I have checked disk space, which is no issue. When
checking task manager, I see the CPU usage go up and I get “Not
responding” on WSJT every time it hangs until after a few seconds:
No changes have been made by me (that I’m aware of) that would affect
WSJT and again it is the only program affected.
Any ideas? What other information would you like for me to provide?
